create_file_securely

create_file_securely(3) 				     Library Functions Manual					   create_file_securely(3)

NAME

       create_file_securely - Create a file in the authentication database  (Enhanced Security)

LIBRARY

       Security library - libsecurity.so

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/security.h>
       #include <prot.h>

       int create_file_securely(
	    char *file,
	    int decibels,
	    char *purpose);

PARAMETERS

       *file  The file parameter is the pathname to create.

       decibels
	      The  decibels parameter is AUTH_SILENT, AUTH_LIMITED, or AUTH_VERBOSE.  Using AUTH_SILENT blocks signals.  The AUTH_LIMITED constant
	      allows a limited amount of dialog.  Using AUTH_VERBOSE specifies that the routine should try to wait until the file can  be  created
	      (up to 100 tries, 1 second apart).  The values for decibels are as follows:

       0   AUTH_SILENT

       1   AUTH_LIMITED

       2   AUTH_VERBOSE

       purpose
	    The purpose parameter is a tag for the audit log entry created by the audit daemon when a file cannot be created.

DESCRIPTION

       The  create_file_securely  routine  creates  a file as specified in the file control database, /etc/auth/system/files.  It is more flexible
       than coding the discretionary attributes of the file, and a further assurance that the file being created is in	accordance  with  security
       concerns.

       If  the	path to the file being created does not exist, create_file_securely attempts to create the path.  If each directory in the path is
       not defined in the file control database, create_file_securely fails and returns CFS_NO_FILE_CONTROL_ENTRY.

RETURN VALUES

       The create_file_securely routine returns the following values:

       0   CFS_GOOD_RETURN

       1   CFS_CAN_NOT_OPEN_FILE

       2   CFS_NO_FILE_CONTROL_ENTRY

       3   FS_CAN_NOT_CHG_MODE

       4   CFS_CAN_NOT_CHG_OWNER_GROUP

FILES

       The file control database.
